Call me crazy
At least in the U.S. I think we need a blended approach of individualism (especially concerning rights and freedoms) and collectivism (to ensure protections and human flourishing, combating the worst of purely individualist or capital driven negative realities)
Not crazy. We seem to do this naturally. As people and societies we need and thrive in both simultaneously. Individual rights must be the foundation to avoid the collective crapping on the self-sovereign. But the solos don’t organically stay solo-only. The community aspect permeates.
Humans are social animals _and_ have free will. Therefore, the individualism vs. collectivism distinction is a straw-man. The important question is on the nature of collectivist ventures. Will these be mandated from heaven or history with no chance for the individual to exit, or will these be voluntary?
